A Bill calling for the Observance of Washington s birthday memorial Day veterans Dayan Columbus Day on mondays has been approved by the com Mittee. But Don t pack that weekend bag  favorite of the business Community which thinks i would make for More efficient work and production schedule Sand less absenteeism and strongly backed by the travel agencies and airlines the Bill has not stirred a great Deal of enthusiasm among the general Public. And it has aroused surprisingly Strong opposition from patriotic societies and veterans organizations with an interest in a specific Holiday and som Church groups who Are deeply concerned about Church attend Ance. They be expressed fears that regular three Day holidays would lure people into unpatriotic and impious endeavours on those occasions. Such opposition pretty Well scuttled the original monday Holiday Bill before the commit tee last year. When the first ses Sion of Congress ended Only memorial Day remained in a Bill that would have also move Washington s birthday Independence Day veterans Dayan thanksgiving to monday. It was then that rep. Rober Mcclory r-i1l, chief sponsor of the Bill discovered Christophe Columbus. For years americans of ital Ian descent have cherished the idea of a National Holiday commemorating Columbus. And for years rep. Peter w. Rodino d-., a senior judiciary commit tee member has introduced number of Bills establishing such a Holiday. Field work i. 3. V.

A photo Many states observe oct. 2as Columbus Day but the Bills for a National Holiday never go anywhere. They served mainly to stir counter campaigns by americans of scandinavian Stock for a Leif Ericson Day i Honor of the Man they Are con Vinced discovered America Cen Turies before Christopher Colum bus set foot on the bahamian Island of san Salvador. Rather than try to legislate history and reluctant to impose two new holidays on the nation chairman Emanuel Celler d ., kept the Columbus waybills Well bottled up. Then one Day Mcclory looked at Rodino. Rodino looked at Mcclory. And a new Bill was born. With Rodino delivering the democrats who have Large ital Ian blocs in their districts and Mcclory lining up the republicans Celler was outta neutered and the Bill was approved Las month. It would fix Washington birthday on the third monday in february memorial Day on the last monday in May Colum bus Day on the second monday in october and veterans Day on the fourth monday in october. It would apply Only to Federal employees unless states were prompted to take Steps to enact similar legislation. But chances Are that without strenuous lobbying by its Back ers the Bill May not get much further. And if it should get to the floor Leif Ericson s friends Are sure to be waiting.
